The working world was changing fast before COVID-19 and will evolve from here on in ways we can't anticipate or plan for. How must the Human Workplace field evolve to keep up, and how can HR practitioners navigate in this unfamiliar terrain? What is the mission of HR in these tumultuous times, and how can each of us find our voices to make every workplace a vibrant, human place?

Liz Ryan, a former Fortune 500 SVP of HR and the world's most widely-read workplace advisor, shares a new frame for HR and an inspirational, practical message for HR professionals in RED-BLOODED HR: Essays on Human Resources as a Force for Good. Through these collected stories originally published on Forbes.com, LinkedIn, the Human Workplace blog and many other outlets, Liz paints a picture of HR as a force for good in organizations and in the world - as advocates for our coworkers, evangelists for trust-based workplaces and advisors to senior executives who benefit from our truths even when they don't want to hear them.

RED-BLOODED HR is an essential read for HR people, business leaders, working people and anyone who shares the Human Workplace vision to reinvent work for people.
